Strained and estranged dad
He’s been emotionally and physically abusive in my earlier years and now just comes and goes when he decides to want me and it hurts so much. He recently reached out to meet my son almost three months after I gave him the opportunity to meet him when my son was first born. What do I do?
This is really hard But I think it has to come to a decision of how you feel. I would let him meet his grandson but I would still be cautious and after that it's really up to you. You can only love someone and allow them to hurt you so much at some point you kind of have to put up boundaries of what you will accept and won't accept. Even though it's hard to set those boundaries at the end of it all you might feel better for them just because you're protecting yourself and your son even though it's something that you feel like you shouldn't have to.
